Daily Scribe-- YOUR chance to shine
There are many, many ways to use Google in the classroom. The "Daily Scribe" is just one. The purpose is three-fold.
As a class, we will meet many common core standards as we use Daily Scribe:
To maintain an ongoing record of class activities
and learning
To demonstrate the ability to write a report of
information
To demonstrate the ability to communicate through a
blog post
You will become invested in your daily classroom experience while you are helping to build an interactive resource for yourself and your classmates.
This concept is based on one teacher's efforts to create an online learning experience to empower all students to become involved.
Daily Scribe-- How & Why
In order for you to be a contributor to this blog, you will need to provide me with your gmail (or other email address) so that you can be "invited" as a contributor. Until that is done, you can post your scribe (for the day it is your turn to be the scribe) on Edmodo. Your classmates can access your scribe there as well. Eventually, I would like to have ALL scribes housed in one place, but I know it will take time to get there!
As far as g-mail invitations go, rest assured your gmail address will remain private, and I will be the only one that has the access. I will only use it to send the initial invitation to you.
Parental Consent: I will have parental permission forms available in the classroom, and you will need to have those signed by your parent or guardian also.
G-Mail Account: If you did not secure a g-mail address at the beginning of the year when we signed up for google docs originally, you will be prompted to do so before you can begin blogging.
While you are taking on this task, you will be working through the levels of learning in a real way-- you will develop an authentic understanding of the information that is presented to you. You will take ownership. You will learn to analyze and apply what you have learned. You will become a stakeholder in your own education. Isn't that exciting?
